Paroles de ' Battle Scars (feat. Michael Edward) ' par IanJ

Sometimes we forget why we're here
It's easy to fall off track
Please help us remember

These battle scars, don't look like there fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change, these battle

Growing up I had a dream, something no one else could see

Tell me what it means when your faith is falling beneath your knees
And you can't breath, everything you see
Reminds you of what you're not or something you won't be
You gotta take what you've given that's how we living
Don't be mad at the system, it's simply how we've existed
I hear a lot of people talking like they politicians
And choose to be an accountant because it's safe in the business
Not because they wanna do it, just because they heard it pays
And who the fuck want's to be poor, knowing that's how we've been raised
Society is getting heavy, I can feel the weight
The pressure of success is like a hundred million pounds of shame
And that's the reason I'm staying up late
Trying to find a way to escape, the stereotypes this day and age
Is making me feel like the only way I'll be happy
Is gettin' signed to a label and making money through rapping
I wanna share my emotions because the world is attacking
The very principle of life that let's the people be happy
If you don't have a reason to breathe why even live
These battle scars are impressions of everything that it is

These battle scars, don't look like there fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battle scars don't look like there fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change, these battle

Now if I had a voice that reached a hundred million people
I'd tell them there's a reason that we're all created equal
Cause some decide to be great, and some decide a sequel
To an average persons life is simply what they wanna be
So, you make your decision, all I know is what I'm giving
Won't define the life I lead or the way I dwell in existence
I've seen a greater image on the walls of where I'm living

And the words twisted and scripted, remind me of something written
Faith is a gift that is given down to the people
If one believes it, one receives it, it's given if it is needed
Don't ever think you're trapped in a life that you never wanted
Your options are infinite, that's some mathematical logic
I'm not saying I'm a prophet, I'm speaking for what it's worth
These lyrics define my prayers and these battle scars are my church
Not saying I'm a prophet, I'm speaking for what it's worth
These lyrics define my prayers, these battle scars are my church

These battle scars, don't look like there fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battle scars don't look like there fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change, these battle
